In addition to overseeing the program, he teaches courses in Bible and Theology, investing deeply in the spiritual growth of each student. Together, Joshua and Haleigh pour into the lives of young men and women through regular discipleship, Bible studies, mentoring, and personal encouragement.

Since their early teenage years, both Tim and Brianna felt the call to missions. They had various opportunities to take mission trips throughout young adulthood. Through these experiences, the Lord solidified their passion for cross cultural ministry and to reach the unreached with the hope of the Gospel.

After marriage, the Lord burdened their hearts for Latin America. Through much prayer, they felt the Lord calling them to go. They joined Avant Ministries and learned of the great need for the Gospel in Mexico. They will be serving as church planters in Central/South Mexico.

Our Mission: Empowering Communities Through Church Planting

Doulos Partners exists to empower the indigenous to take the Gospel further and faster to the ends of the Earth.

Doulos Partners is an international church-planting ministry based in Birmingham, Alabama that acts as a missions mutual fund for other Christian nonprofit ministries. We not only provide financial assistance to our ministry partners around the world that share in our vision and mission, but we also provide support through prayer and leadership resources.

Spoken Worldwide was launched in 2005 by four men with an unbridled passion for Jesus Christ. 2/3 of the world’s population learns through spoken, not written, words

A team of 24 staff and 98 field missionaries now work in 70 countries with 64 partners and 139 languages.

We are a community of people who believe in Jesus and seek to practice His way of living, together in our homes, schools, jobs and neighborhoods of Vancouver. We gather on Sundays to sing, be taught, break bread and simply be together as a family. Throughout the week, we meet in smaller community groups, moms’ groups, softball teams and share meals as friends because following Jesus is lived out in the everyday life.

We serve with Greater Europe Mission (GEM) alongside Kirche Am Start in the community of Obertshausen, Germany, with a focus on disciple multiplication.

Germany has held a special place in our hearts for many years. For almost as long as we’ve been together, we’ve believed God was leading us to serve there full-time. We knocked on many doors with different mission organizations, but none seemed to open. Then, in 2018, God made a way through Greater Europe Mission (GEM). After months of applications, interviews, and paperwork, we attended training at GEM headquarters in June 2019. By the end of that week—and after much prayer and confirmation—GEM commissioned us to serve in the Frankfurt area, and we soon began the journey of raising support for this calling.

Waterbrook Bible Fellowship supports mission’s groups / missionaries that serve God in a closed country.

What is a closed country you ask?

Any country or culture that forbids by force or intimidation worship of any belief but their own.

There are two main ways Christian’s experience persecution in a closed country.

Pressure – Measured in five spheres of life: Private, Family, National, Church, Community.

Violence – Based on the number of attacks and deaths due to religious belief.
